November newsletter for Cache Valley Women in Business, 2013.

Issue #5 | 11/7/2013
As we step towards the Thanksgiving season, I
want to take just a moment to thank every one
of you! Our scholarship auction was great. So
many of you donated and even more
purchased. The auction raised over $2,000.00
this year. Every dollar from the auction will go
towards scholarships. Each contribution will
make a positive impact on the scholarship
recipient. A special thank you to Jacoba and
the committee that made the auction such a
success.
President’s Message
Halloween with all the cute little ghost and goblins is
now a memory as we speed toward the holiday season.
There is a light dusting of snow resting on the
mountaintops to remind us of the days to come.
Save the Date!

Please allow me to take a moment and thank
the incredible group of women that serve on our
WIB board. They are so willing to contribute of
themselves. I am so thankful to have this
opportunity to work with such incredible woman.
A final thank you to Jacoba. Did you hear her
on the radio? She did a fabulous job of
representing our organization to the community.
Please continue to invite guest to our luncheons

One last time, THANK YOU ALL from the
bottom of my heart!

Poppleton on KVNU October 18th, here is a
link to the interview.

in Business and The Cache Chamber of
Commerce.
Thanks Jacoba!! Listen Here
Did you know that for $500 we will name a scholarship after
you or your business? Sure, the scholarship auction is over
but that doesn’t mean you can’t donate to support educational
scholarships for women in business this coming year.
Other ways to help: attend lunch each month and buy raffle
tickets—every bit goes into the bucket for the next round of
awardees.
